The Longest Whale Song - Softcover

"With its honest characters and dialogue, its unique coverage of the trauma Ella and her family experience, and its ability to unite readers with Ella's coping process is a tender, moving story in the classic Wilson mould" (Alison Nolan Inis)

"Wilson's clear, honest writing crackles through this moving tale . . . This absorbing novel packs an emotional punch which should satisfy Wilson's many fans, old and new" (Booktrust)

"This story will delight . . . As always, the characters are beautifully portrayed and you are really drawn into their lives, especially that of Ella" (www.parentsintouch.co.uk)

Dear Mum,

Oh dear, I know you can't read this but I still need to write to you. There's so much I want to tell you. I've been doing a special project about whales. Did you know that humpback whales can sing? Isn't it amazing to think of all those whales down in the depths of the ocean, singing? Usually the songs are quite short - but one whale was recorded singing non-stop for TWENTY-TWO HOURS! I'd sing for even longer if it would only make you wake up. I'm going to play you some beautiful whale songs when I visit you in hospital. You'll listen, won't you?

Lots and lots and lots of love
